LICENSE TO SHIFT by Kathy Lyons (October 4, 2016; Forever Yours eBook; $1.99; Grizzlies Gone Wild Book 2)

The second book in a wild shifter series from USA TODAY bestselling author Kathy Lyons.

Bear meets girl…

Julie Simon returns to Saginaw, Michigan, to find her ailing father’s missing research on local shapeshifter lore. Unlucky for her, the only person who can help her is the darkly sexy Mark Robertson, the guy who spent an entire summer giving her the cold shoulder—and one white-hot night of pleasure…

Mark is a hair’s breadth away from going feral. Soon, his grizzly side will destroy everything that makes him a man. And after years of fighting, Mark is ready to give in to the beast. Then Julie—the gorgeous, curvy book nerd who awakened his most primal desires as a young man—shows up at his door. Now, he’s fighting an insatiable longing to claim her as his mate. But Julie isn’t the only one after her father’s research. Someone—or something—evil is tracking Julie’s every move…

I received this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

I loved the first book in the series but if you haven’t read it no worries. However ,in the first book, we meet Mark and know that he is dangerously close to becoming a feral grizzly. I really loved his grumpy demeanor and was excited to read his story. I wanted to know how he would be ”saved”.

The story starts out GREAT…Mark on the edge of never coming back when he answers his door stark naked to see HER. The girl that he has loved and feared since he was 16, Julie. Julie is not a shifter or from his community but his grizzly has known she was the one for him.

I loved the banter between the two. Julie perceives his lack of attention to him just being mean when in fact he was scared to death of how she made him feel. I loved how sweet and open Mark was with Julie and how he can get her to be super aggressive when she needs him.

I have to say I am a huge fan of the series and think each book gets better. I CAN NOT WAIT for Alan’s story. I fee so bad for what happened to him plus the rejection he feels from the one he loves and his grizzly pack.
